I have pretty chunky fingers, so for me being delicate is an effort. So with the sheer amount of controls mapped to the right thumb stick its common place of me to depress the thumbstick by accident and look instead of throttling up or down, or rudder.

The last night the inveitable happened and while being chased down I went to hit WEP to throttle up for a climb and ended up simply looking round, and then getting shot down. In a fit of rage I smashed my control pad on the floor and stamped it into many, many bits!:evil:

I've ordered my AV8TOR stick today, hopefully this will help!:)

The AV8R won't help you dude. You have the emotional control of a drunken ape. You can either a) control your hissy fits or b) save up your allowance and start buying things for yourself so you learn an appreciation for things.

Maybe if you lost some weight? I mean, you say you don't have the fingers of a 12 year old but rather chunky ones, but....I'm 18 and I manage fine.

If the game stresses you out that much why not just skip it?
Smashing controllers has always seemed really childish to me, it's just a game, you can live without it, move on.

Dear akuma
I hope for you the joystick gives you the achievement you wont, but I for myself bought this stick and after a while I went back to my pad. The only problem with the pad is the the controlled look around in sim-mode while using the rudder and this is a setup problem in the game. we need the possibility to create our own setup for the pad and joysticks.
Hope you have fun

P.S.To wreck your pad does not solve your prob.Stay cool, its a game and training is all

Is this you Akuma...?

Looks like a cheap version of Guitar Hero. (Which I also fail to see the attraction of...)

Bet he didn't pay for his own monitor... neither did Akuma for his controller probably. Those things are a fortune (for me anyways).
